NEW! Irish Database published by Eneclann and Lendac The 1851 Dublin City
Census, compiled and edited by Sean Magee Including the 1847 Ordinance Survey
Town Plans of Dublin City The destruction of the 19th century Irish Census
returns is probably the greatest loss that genealogy in Ireland has suffered.
Prior to the destruction of the 1851 census, Dr. D.A. Chart of the Public
Record Office compiled a comprehensive list of the names and addresses of heads
of households for Dublin City. This
unique genealogical source has now been edited and converted to database format
by Seán Magee making it available to all
researchers worldwide. It contains over 60,000 names and addresses (and some
occupations) in the city of Dublin. This publication contains over 60,000 names
and addresses and all 33 Ordnance Survey Town Plans of Dublin City from 1847,
courtesy of Dublin Corporation. The cost to purchase this CD-ROM is
IR200.00 for libraries or other organizations. Give us a call at 01-677-6133 or

OVID launches OVID@HAND
Clinicians who want a more convenient way to order medical information database
searches or learn about new journal articles will be able to handle these
important responsibilities directly from a Palm Pilot, Handspring Visor or
other hand-held device, thanks to Ovid@Hand, a
new product developed by Ovid Technologies and Unbound Medicine.
With Ovid@Hand, clinicians will be able to enter
requests for specific information, articles or searches directly into their
hand-held device at any time throughout the day. They can also review the
latest tables of contents from their own pre-selected personal library of
leading medical journals. Whenever they sync their hand-held device with their
computer, Ovid@Hand instantly and automatically
fulfills the requests, including database searches, access to full text
articles and much more.
"Most clinicians don't have the time to read through all the journals they
need, and they are unable to record and order all the searches they want each
day. As a result, they miss important news and many essential searches never
happen. Ovid@Hand completely automates the
process, allowing clinicians to handle these critical responsibilities at the
very moment they need them or think of them," said Cheryl Chisnell, vice
president, clinical and academic products at Ovid Technologies.
"More and more, access to information is essential to clinicians all
throughout the day. Ovid@Hand uses the latest in
software and hand-held technology to bring clinicians much closer to all of the
information they need at the exact moment they need it," Ms. Chisnell
said. Call Lendac at 01-677-6133 for a demo!
